Potentials of Canarium schweinfurthii seed shell as a novel precursor for CH3COOK activated carbon: statistical optimization, equilibrium and kinetic studies

Abstract The possibility of utilizing Canarium schweinfurthii seed shell (CSSS) as a precursor to optimally produce activated carbon was harnessed by physico-chemical activation. Carbon (IV) oxide (CO2) and potassium acetate (CH3COOK) were employed as physical and chemical activating agents, respect...
